SteemFoods Contest -19- | Prepare a Special Cake for Mother's Day!

Hello Steem foods dear people.
I will present my contest post to you today.
A great contest for mother's day. I really love making cake. When I saw that such a contest was happening, I joyfully prepared a cake for Mother's Day.

A few months ago it was my daughters' birthday. I wanted to order a cake for them. When I found out the price of the cake, I was very surprised. The cake for 10 was 400 Turkish lira. This is a pretty high price. So I tried to make a cake for my daughters myself. I prepared a very tasty and elegant cake. Thus, I started to make my own cakes.

The cake that I will prepare for you today has a name. These cakes are called letter cake. You can also prepare it in the shape of a heart if you want.

Since my daughter's name starts with the letter Ö, I arranged a letter cake in the shape of O.

Of course, I prepared my cake for mother's day, but we mothers are happy when we make our children happy.

Preparing our cake is fun and easy. You can easily prepare this cake, which we have prepared in three stages, at your home.

In the first stage, we will prepare our sponge cake. Then we will proceed to the stage of decorating our cream and finally our cake. Here is the most enjoyable part. Here you can make an ornament entirely up to your imagination.

Now I'm starting to explain the recipe for this beautiful cake.

The required list of materials is as follows:

For the sponge cake

Flour less than a finger from a glass of water
One finger less granulated sugar from a water glass

• Five eggs (it's important that your eggs are at room temperature.)
• A pack of baking powder
• A pack of vanilla
• Half a tea glass of warm water
• Half a glass of cornstarch

Necessary ingredients for cream:

• Two packs of pastry cream (filling cream)
• 4 glasses of milk
• a tablespoon of butter

Necessary materials to decorate:

• Strawberry
• Banana
• Chocolate flakes to coat the strawberries
• Various wafers and chocolates.

Also a glass of milk to soak the sponges.

We start making our cake by preparing the sponge cake.
We separate the white and yellow parts of the eggs. We add some sugar to both bowls. We beat the eggs very well. Especially the white part of the egg should be foamy.
Then we add half a tea glass of water and two tablespoons of oil to the bowl with the yellow part of the egg. Then we add flour, vanilla, baking powder and cornstarch. We whisk our dough for a while. Then we add the egg white to our dough with the help of a spatula. We mix it gently. this part is very important. If we mix it quickly, our dough may sting and the sponge cake may not rise.

We pour our dough into a cake mold in which we spread greaseproof paper. We cook in an oven without fan at 175 degrees for 20-25 minutes in a controlled manner.

After our cake is baked, we cover it with a clean cloth. This will make our cake softer.

The first layer of our sponge cake cake. We repeat the same process and prepare the second layer of our cake.

If you want, you can prepare your dough in one go. I found it appropriate to do it this way.

While our sponge cakes are being cooked, we can prepare our cream.

We pour the pastry cream and milk into a pot. We cook the cream while stirring constantly. When the cream is ready, we add a spoonful of butter and turn off the stove. Then we whisk the cream very well.

Then we whisk a glass of milk with a pack of whipped cream and add it to our cooled cream and whisk it again. Then we place the cream we prepared in the cream squeezing bag.
Our cream is ready to decorate our cake.

You can also prepare chocolate covered strawberries to decorate our cake. I prepared my strawberries a few hours before I started making my cake and kept them in the fridge. I recommend you do this too.

We wash the strawberries and place them on paper towels to dry. It is very important that the strawberries are dry. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cover with chocolate.
We melt white flake chocolates and dark flake chocolates in a double boiler. We dip the strawberries in this chocolate sauce and put it on wax paper. I also sprinkled gold food coloring. So I got a more stylish look.

You can also prepare strawberries in this way and make a presentation. They are very stylish and delicious.

After preparing all the stages of our cake, we bring the ingredients together.
First, we put the sponges on top of each other and cut them as we want. I used a small plate for this. You can do that too.

Then we place the first layer of the sponge cake on the cake plate. We wet it with milk with the help of a brush.

Then we squeeze cream. We place sliced ​​strawberries and bananas on the cream.

Then we place the second layer of the sponge cake on our cake. We wet our cake again. We squeeze cream on it again and decorate our cake with the ingredients we have.
Decorating the cake is very fun. I am sure you will love it very much too.

I shot a video to present the stage I decorated my cake to you. I also share this video with you.

While I was preparing the cake, I had a lot of fun at every stage. I hope you guys will enjoy reading my post and watching my video too.
